Armenian Defense Ministry denies its complicity in death of Azerbaijani serviceman

ArmInfo.The Armenian Defense Ministry has made a statement regarding the Azerbaijani media reports that say an Azerbaijani serviceman has been killed as a result of the ceasefire violation by the Armenian armed forces.

"The Defense Ministry reports that the provocative statement disseminated by some Azerbaijani media outlets (haqqin.az, politika.az, meydan.tv) that on August 30 the Armenian armed forces violated the ceasefire in the southeastern section (Nakhijevan) of the Armenian-Azerbaijani border and that an Azerbaijani serviceman was killed as a result of the ceasefire has nothing to do with the reality. The Armenian armed forces strictly observe the ceasefire and take relevant actions only in case the adversary violates the ceasefire," says the Armenian Defense Ministry's statement sent to ArmInfo.

To note, the Defense Ministry of Azerbaijan has also refuted the information: "Some media outlets' reports that soldier Gambarov Vyusal Razim oglu conscribed from Shamkir region was killed as a result of the adversary's fire are false".
